Sypha Nadon: The Nightmare Factory [MZR018] (2009)

This album, a ten year retrospective of Sypha Nadon's musical odyssey, collects many tracks from Sypha's previous albums, along with a track from the new upcoming album (more details on that coming soon) and a new song recorded specifically for this retrospective (entitled "The Nightmare Factory"). Thank you to anyone who has listened to my music over the last ten years, and whether you have enjoyed it or not, I am pleased that you took the time to listen to it in the first place.

This album is dedicated to the Voyetra Digital Orchestrator. And also to the two bands who initially inspired me to begin making music in the first place: Throbbing Gristle and Nine Inch Nails.
